CEPI collaboration with another European association could produce energy savings of up to 50 percent in paper manufacturing.
According to a news release from Cepi (Confederation of European Paper Industries), a collaboration that it engaged in with EHPA (European Heat Pump Association) has resulted in innovation that could produce energy savings of up to 50 percent in paper manufacturing and could help decarbonize one of Europe’s most energy-intensive sectors. However, before this can become a reality, Cepi says EU regulators must speed up incentives for affordable clean energy.
Heat pumps enable energy savings for many industries, Cepi says, providing about 10 percent of final industrial energy demand in Europe and helping to lower industrial emissions across many sectors. Because of a recent development, large heat pumps and steam compressors now can heat up to 200 C, or 392 F, meeting the pulp and paper industry’s needs.
